    I use a cheap harbor freight dual action (technically a random orbital) you would have to be practically trying to burn the paint with a dry pad to do any kind of damage, if you press too hard it just stops turning the pad.

    but yeah SHADE IS IMPORTANT!

    She doesn't actually fit in the garage but she has to squeeze for a paint correction and wax.

    No electric buffer at all. Don’t even own one. Only used the foam applicator pad that came with the polish

    Not to mention you can hardly see it in most lighting and only at the right angle.

    Dealership took a look and said they believe it’s patchwork that’s was done prior to my pickup. Due to that it’s not “defective” and will most likely not be covered under warranty
